    Mitiarjuk's Sanaaq and the Politics of Translation in Inuit Literature

    Arctic Solitude: Mitiarjuk’s Sanaaq and the Politics of Translation in Inuit Literature Keavy Martin erhaps it is the influence of the grant writing that scholars are obliged to do in order to earn our bread and butter, but it seems that much of our energy in literary studies goes into advo- Pcating for the reading that we have most recently been doing. We thrive on identifying gaps in the critical literature, and then on zealously draw- ing other people’s attention to these oversights. “Too often,” we say, or “for too long, the work of (insert author here) has gone unrecognized!” This kind of tactic, however — what might be called remedial or salvage literary criticism — is arguably quite valid when informed by the appro- priate political framework: for instance, when the oversight that we are protesting has happened as the result of shortsightedness or prejudice or Eurocentrism in the academy. What we read, after all, and what we choose to canonize (and finance) by inclusion on university reading lists says much about our values — and those of our institutions. The process of opening up the canon to include, first, works by Canadian writers (itself, at one time, a radical move) and, later, works by Canadian writers belonging to demographics other than the two “founding” French and English nations has been an important agent in the rise of both multiculturalism and the Aboriginal1 rights move- ment. Today, almost any Canadian literature course will include at least one text by an Aboriginal writer: generally by Thomas King, Eden Robinson, or Tomson Highway.

It was developed to support the foster and adoptive parents of Aboriginal children. The need for this manual became evident when meeting with foster/adoptive parents and youth protection professionals. Many of these individuals were not aware of the spectrum of culturally relevant services available to urban Aboriginals or of the distinct traditions of each Aboriginal nation. Aboriginal children in care are entitled to services that respect their diverse cultural heritage. It is our hope that the practical information and cultural insights contained in this document will facilitate and strengthen the bond between child and caregiver.
